today while I was driving I turned to see hundreds of chickens trapped in a dirty truck
my heart sank & the only word I could find to express my thoughts was: yuck!
at first I thought my anger was driven from the harm and cruelty that had been done,
but little did I know this strong feeling of complete disgust had begun
because looking at these helpless, mistreated animals reminded me
of the dull classrooms that limit me to be only what the government wants or what they need,
or a tool in helping them reach what they hope to achieve,
or to spread the policies and ideas in which they wholeheartedly believe.
they just want to choose the best usage for the space I take up
i'm simply a chicken trapped in a truck.
